BLAST Magazine was the short-lived
literary magazine of the Vorticist art movement in Britain between 1914 and
1915. It used bold typographic constructions to BLAST or BLESS the received
wisdom of the age. It is recognised as a seminal text of 20th Century Modernism
and is charged with reinvigorating British graphic design.
BAST Magazine is a
wayward revision of BLAST. It bestows the same format upon a renewed target.
It is slightly less serious than its forbear. The title is the first syllable
of the word BASTARD, but it knows its father very well.
